Saturday’s Sound Off

I was very disappointed to read in Sunday’s Mercury that the current governor of Pennsylvania could win a second term. Granted Tom Corbett would never be eligible for the governor’s cup. That’s a joke. But Pennsylvania seniors cannot stand another tax and waste four years of the current administration. Also the current administration shot down the only hope we had for school tax reform.

A much overdue thank you to the staff at the Pottstown Hospital who took excellent care of me in the emergency room and the sixth floor — Dr. Buckley in the ER, Beth and Breanna, Brenda, Sarah; and the nurses on the sixth floor, Autumn, Stephanie and Emily and the aides Aubrey, Diane, Georgie and Monique, especially Stephanie who took care of me through the night. A big thank you to my wonderful Dr. Stevens, an amazing doctor who we’re lucky to have.

The person who said that you found it hilarious that Fox News was talking about the Clintons, what is so funny? Is it funny what Bill Clinton did to women or that Hillary Clinton sold us out by selling uranium to our enemy and endangering our lives? If you think this is funny you need help.

To Jay Miller, isn’t it you’re innocent until proven guilty? Anybody can say anything about a person but then you have to prove it. How come they won’t turn over the yearbook to have a forensic person check it to see if that’s really Moore’s signature? That seems very fishy to me. And why wait 40 years to say something? He ran for office before but this is a big election. As far as the president is concerned all those allegations were debunked a long time ago.

Thank you Mr. Wolf for donating your salary to charity. At least some of the people out there in Harrisburg have a heart. Maybe the rest of them will think about that too.

It is quite apparent that our elected officials have forgotten that America is put together by Christians for a Christian nation and they also put forth that all religions in America could worship without fear of government reprisals and that the government should keep its nose out of religion and make no laws either for or against any religion. They have failed to do this. Just look and see.

This is a shout-out to the guys who prepared Pottstown High School football field for the Thanksgiving Day game especially Rob. I saw him outside working on the field for two weeks before the game as I drop students off at the middle school sometimes at 7 a.m. when it was very cold. The field looked beautiful especially the Trojan logo at midfield. It’s sad to see the game end but you sent everyone home with a great remembrance of the beautiful field.

We have a small community in West Pottsgrove called Stowe but on Tuesday the maintenance workers were out there cleaning up the leaves from the gutters and the storm drains. They’re not waiting for the first snow to freeze it. They’re doing it now. Go Stowe maintenance crew. Thank you.

Nobody is blaming Donald Trump for the pipeline leak in South Dakota but he does take the blame for foolishly allowing a pipeline to run through Native American lands. And by the way that oil does not benefit anyone in this country other than the fat cats at the top like Donald Trump, and at the end of the day it will only provide 30 jobs. You won’t hear that on Fox News.

I want to thank the people at HCR Manor Care in Pottstown. I had a fall and hurt my right leg severely. After the hospital I spent one month there with therapy every day. I want to thank Tammy, Connie and Robert for being the kind and caring people they are.

Bonnie, or some call me mom

The swamp in Washington is more like a cesspool now. Pedophiles are preferred over people who will help the common middle class person. How sick.

I’m calling about the Pottstown Hospital Outpatient Clinic. I was there on Nov. 27 to have cataracts removed and I’ll tell you they were excellent — the nurses, the doctors, anybody that came in the room too they were excellent. I want to thank them very much from the bottom of my heart and keep up the good work.

A Lehigh County driver was just charged with vehicular homicide. The driver was texting and hit and killed a teenager. Sadly this probably won’t be the last person killed by a texter. Is killing someone worth sending or reading a message?
